Nathan's Birthday Presents

For Nathans Birthday on Wednesday we woke up and Nathan opened presents. Ben gave Nathan a Spiderman figure and we gave Nathan a bike (well actually a printout picture of a bike since we couldn't exactly bring it with us) and a big stuffed dog since he's been asking for a real dog lately and since his other gift was just a piece of paper. Later we went sledding, to McDonalds and had a cake.

Snowy Day

It snowed a lot the night before so Austin and I had to shovel a lot of snow.

First Time Sledding

We took the boys sledding for their first time ever, they had a lot of fun.

Nathan's Birthday Cake

Nathan wanted Superheros on his Birthday cake, so he got an X-Men cake.

Jump On It

Four of the cousins had Birthdays in the month of December so we took Ben, Nathan, Austin, Kimball, Zackary and McKay to Jump On It which is a giant warehouse with trampolines and bouncehouses.

The Birthday Boys Ben, Zack, Nathan & Kimball. Grandma Larsen was kind enough to fund both the outting and Lego presents for each boy.

New Years Eve 2009

We all celebrated New Years at Ann's house with cousins. Grandma Larsen was also there with her Mission companion friend who was with her because they were leaving on the next day to visit their mission area in Argentina and a cruse. Both of them are in their 80's. We had snacks and some played Rummy and others played the Bigalow's new Wii. Not one of my favorite New Years, but still it was nice of Ann's family to open up their house for New Years.

All in all it was a very good trip for Charlotte and the boys, it was kind of horrible for me, but I don't want to go into that here and would rather not say bad things. But it was all worth going through it all since Charlotte and the boys had a great time and because of how great Adam's wedding, Alex's Mission Farewell and Christmas was.

Ward Christmas Party: Breakfast with Santa

Every year our ward/church has its yearly Breakfast with Santa activity. Charlotte unfortunately had to work yesterday so couldn't make it, but I took pictures.

Santa Bumblebee

Nathan just loves comstumes, he thought that he would mix a few.

He fell asleep during a shopping trip.

Ben's Lego Birthday Party

This year for Ben's 7th birthday party he wanted a Lego themed party. He invited his friends Georgy, Jonny and Shaun from his class and of course brother Nathan. It was a rainy day which was good since we had all indoor activities planned. We had some Lego's out for free play until everyone had arrived and then we ate pizza and soda. (Thank you Little Caesars $5 pizzas which just happened to open a few days before the party.)

Lego Tower Building contest

After pizza we had a Tower Building contest to see who could make the highest tower. Everyone got a piece of candy and the winner got two.

Racing Cars

They then made race cars and raced them down a card table which we propped up against our coffee table.
